Chapter 14: Not Him
"Miss, what did you say?"
Xicui stepped forward suspiciously and pulled the robe on Yu Xiaoman's body again and again.
"Nothing." Yu Xiaoman's mind hadn't fully returned, and his black and white eyes were a little stunned, "That's the eldest young master of the Chen family?" ”
Xicui was born in the Chen family, and she stayed with her wife before she was sent to the Yu Mansion by the Chen Zhang family, and it was impossible for her not to recognize the eldest young master of the Chen family.
"Yes, before I came to save Miss, the eldest young master seems to have been injured......"
As the two walked, Xicui muttered.
"Hurt? What does your eldest young master do? ”
For some reason, the figure still lingered in her mind last night, and she clearly remembered that she had seen the man's face, but the memory that could be traced back was a blur.
The rest was the scene after the man blew out the lamp, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.
Maybe the darkness in the carriage just now made her feel familiar.
She didn't know if the damn man was injured or not, she only knew that this person would definitely not be Chen Moyun, the bookish aura on Chen Moyun's body was too heavy, Si Swenwen.
Yu Xiaoman really couldn't imagine what kind of scene those fierce and hideous eyes would be on him last night.
Her brow furrowed unconsciously, it wasn't him.
"Don't you know? The eldest young master takes care of all the affairs of the Chen family for the master, tea, fleet, academy ......"
Entering the room, Xicui was still counting, and now Yu Xiaoman could be regarded as recognizing the power of the Chen family, no wonder Yu Zhongtian still wanted to tie up the Chen family although he was an official in the court.
In the words of the common people of Dadu, the Chen family owns half of the capital, well...... Half of the treasury.
The Chen family originally didn't have Yu Xiaoman's room, it was just a guest room.
Xicui brought clean clothes for Yu Xiaoman to change into.
The lake-green dress made her complexion more translucent, Yu Xiaoman wiped the water stains on her face, sat in front of the vanity mirror, and let Xicui recoil her hair in a bun.
"Xicui, does the Chen family have a library of medicinal materials?"
escaped death, but Yu Xiaoman has to face more than just this predicament, the Yu family, the Jiang family and Yu Mei'er can't wait to grab her handle and let her die.
She can't afford to have any handle left here.
"Yes, there was an old gentleman who lived in the house before, and he liked to fiddle with medicinal herbs, Miss, what do you want medicinal herbs for?"
"Don't ask, go get the silk rhinoceros and the iron-masked turtle."
"Miss, what do you want ...... this?"
The doubt in Xicui's eyes slowly turned into horror, "Miss! ”
Yu Xiaoman glanced sideways, stopping Xicui from continuing to scream and attract others, she bit her lip and removed a hairpin from her head, the thin silver shining strangely in the sun's praise.
There was only an ugly little red dot left in the fake Shougong Sand, in order not to let people see the flaws, she didn't even wipe the blood, at this time the blood stains were stuck in the flesh wound, and the wound was about to heal.
She was ruthless in her heart, and the hairpin in her hand was raised high.
"Poof."
The sharp weapon entered the flesh, and the tip of the hairpin sank into the skin, and the red color seeped out through a layer of flesh and blood.
Yu Xiaoman didn't blink his eyes, pulled out the hairpin, gasped in pain, smashed the two medicinal materials that Xicui found, and applied them to the wound.
"Miss......"
Xicui was already stunned by Yu Xiaoman's actions, covering her mouth with her two little hands, and it took a long time to say a word.
Her pale face looked particularly terrifying, as if she was the one who had just experienced the pain of the cone.
"Burn these things."
Wrapping gauze with her own hands, Yu Xiaoman's heart finally fell to the ground, she has been immersed in the bloody plots of novels and TV series since she was a child, she knows better than anyone here what happens when a woman loses her virginity before she has a marriage contract.
Immersing in the pig cage is still an open way to die, and some families even use more cruel means to secretly execute people in order to prevent the ugliness of the family from being publicized.
Yu Mei'er was already suspicious of her, and her palace sand couldn't be detected.
Looking at Xicui trembling and holding the white cloth and medicinal herbs stained with some blood, Yu Xiaoman's expression softened a lot, but his tone was undiminishedly firm.
"In this world, no one can protect me for a lifetime, the Chen family can't, and the Yu family can't. Only then can I live. ”
"Xicui understands, Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid follow you, they are your people, and they will never betray Miss."
Xicui held the things and suddenly knelt down towards Yu Xiaoman, she witnessed what happened to the young lady in the east building, and also understood her situation in the Yu family, she was willing to follow the young lady, life and death.
"Being so bitter and hateful, follow Miss Ben, eat fragrant and drink spicy."
Yu Xiaoman's dark eyes suddenly deepened, and he dropped his sleeves layer by layer, patted Xicui's shoulder, and promised quite heroically.
What she did just now, wasn't she testing Xicui?
Xicui was originally a member of the Chen Zhang family, and in this place where even her relatives could not fully believe in her, in order to survive, she had to be cautious and cautious.
Happily, Hee-tsui is someone she can trust.
Sadly, there is currently only one such person.
The sky gradually darkened, Yu Xiaoman went to Chen Zhang's place to say goodbye, and after learning about the power of the Chen family, she couldn't let the lady of the family go to see her off in person.
"Madam, your kindness is fully appreciated, and some roads still have to be walked by Man'er after all."
Silently finished eating a box of pastries in Chen Zhang's room, and Yu Xiaoman straightened up.
After being called by the old lady to talk, Chen Zhang's face had a faint sadness, and although he looked at Yu Xiaoman's eyes lovingly, he was also a little unbearable and guilty.
Yu Xiaoman could see clearly, a pair of soft and pitiful eyes were like cutting water, and the waves flowed.
She had already guessed the intention of the old lady of the Chen family, which was nothing more than to tell Chen Zhang to stop meddling with her affairs.
In any case, she wrote down Chen Zhang's rescue.
"Xicui, I will follow Man'er in the future, take good care of your young lady."
Chen Zhang wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and stuffed something in Yu Xiaoman's palm when he made a mistake.
Yu Xiaoman silently put the paper bag into his sleeve, got up, and bowed to Chen Zhang.
The figures of the two of them drifted away in the small courtyard, and the newly fallen branches on the ground creaked, but there was no other sound.
Seeing the two of them go away, Chen Zhang's family was supported by his personal maid and sighed heavily at the door of the room.
This is the person who almost became her family, looking at her, she can always think of Shun'er who died on the bed.
"Xidie, you go and bring a message to Yun'er, let him send Miss Yu to the Yu family, explain well, don't let the Yu family embarrass her."
That's all she can do.
